I was supposed to have another post up today, but I've been locked out of my email and can't get to any of my swatches. (Sounds weird, I know, but I have a system and it works...when I can access my email. So strange!) Anyway, that post will either be up Friday or next week. In the mean time, I've got a new to me brand to show you all today. A while back, Love, Angeline had a sale, and I grabbed a couple that I had my eye on. Well between press samples, and the giveaway, I wasn't able to show my swatches. Now, I can! If you've never tried Love, Angeline yet, you'll want to after this post.

LynBDesigns is starting the new year off with a BANG! Right out of the gate she is releasing a new collection inspired by Downton Abbey. The newest (and...sadly...final) season is starting on January 3rd, so why not release a collection inspired by it's beauty on the 1st?! Right?! Great way to start the new year! This Downton Abbey inspired collection is called Back in the Abbey Again Collection. It is a set of six, beautiful polishes that are sure to make you smile (before we are bound to have a season full of tears).

I'm back with the newest collection from Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer. Her Baby It's Cold Outside Collection is a set of 6 polishes; some holo, some jelly, some packed with glitter, and some in an amazing cream. It's well rounded and versatile. One could even be used as a topper (even though I didn't swatch it that way). You're going to want this whole collection. You've been warned!

I'll start by apologizing for lack of giveaways in today's post. I had a lot of fun putting that together. Did you all enjoy the 25 Days of Polish Giveaway? I'm hoping to make it an annual thing. I don't do many giveaways during the year and it's a fun way for me to say thank you for reading and following me along in my journey as well as close out the year. I really am truly thankful for each one of you...new and old. <3Now on to the good stuff! Today, at 12 pm PST, Daily Hues Nail Lacquer is releasing a very exclusive New Years Duo. There are only 20 pairs available. So, if you like what you see, be ready! Since my posts for the rest of the month were so long, we're going to keep this banter short and sweet.

How is it already Christmas?! I'm still in denial as I sit here and look at all the gifts under the tree. However, I do have a super fun and unique little trio from LE Polish to show you all today. This is the Condiment Christmas Trio. It isn't available to purchase, nor will it be. There are only 2 bottles of each color in existence. I've got one of each to show you all, and the winner of the final day of my 25 Days of Polish Giveaway will win the other set. Shortly after I swatched her A Christmas Trio, I was raving about how much I adored Far-Gee-lay and I'd love a polish like it without the black shards. Well, that was the beginning of the end and we started goofing off and this little trio came about. I have to say, this little joke turned into a quite beautiful and well rounded trio. Ready to see?

How in the world is it already the 23rd of December?! This is just freaking nuts! However, I'm excited for today's giveaway. It's the one I'm providing for you all. You all know I like to wait a bit longer on the Zoya swatches. You get bombarded with them all at once. When I grabbed the set of Winter/Holiday 2015 MatteVelvets for the giveaway I knew it would be for a later date in the month. Plenty of time has past, and now you all get to look at these beauties with fresh eyes, before entering for the chance to win a set for your very own!

I've got an abundance of "new to me" for you all today! A while back, I won a contest on Baroness X's Facebook fan group. I won a bottle of Chiara. I think it's a super special LE because I'm not seeing it in her shop. I'm in the fan group, but I don't know a whole lot on the brand. I'm still learning. I tell you what though...sending me this beauty sure did wet my palette and make me want more!

I've got my first polishes from Vapid to show you all today! I had help from a couple people in getting these. I don't buy from shops where you normally have to buy right when items are restocked. I know it doesn't happen like that normally with Vapid, but the main polish I wanted was selling quickly. A lovely lady in the group snagged it for me and generously gifted it to me. Another lady got a bottle for me, but, when the other lady got the one for me she got to keep hers. This excited her to no end. However, she did grab a couple others for me and I was able to pay her back. The Vapid Facebook fan group is full of wonderful, generous ladies. However, now...you get to see the pretties!

I'm really excited to be able to show off a new (to me) indie. Shortly after I announced my giveaway, the lady behind My Indie Polish said she wanted to be involved. Me, being me, I had to find something I could try. I don't like to promote or giveaway items from shops I haven't tried. (If I haven't tried something, how do I know if it's good enough for all of you?) There was enough time so I snagged a beauty to show off to you all. I had issues trying to narrow it down, so I called in a friend and her first choice for me was one of the ones I was going back and forth between. So, I did it. I bought my first Canadian polish. I'm kinda shocked how quickly it arrived too!

No, I'm not giving away more goodies from Polish 'M. Sorry! I just have more beauties to show off to you before today's giveaway since I didn't have anything new from Poetry Cowgirl Nail Polish to show you all. However, a friend was able to snag these two beauties from Polish 'M when I was unavailable during a restock a while back. I tell you what...if you're a crelly lover and you haven't bought any from Polish 'M you're missing out on an incredible brand. Just you wait and see.

Today I have several beauties from Lollipop Posse Lacquer. These are all the polishes I've bought from them over the past couple months that I haven't been able to show you all yet. I am sorry they are no longer available, but this will show you what you've been missing. It will teach you to not miss out on anything from her! haha I'm really tired and emotionally drained from just seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens so we will keep this short and sweet. <3

*poke* Hey! Guess what?! Ever After Polish sent me lots of goodies!! Not a specific collection, just a bunch of miscellaneous items for me to show off to you all. You've probably seen swatches of most of these already, but LOOK AGAIN!! Look at them in all their majesty!

It's been a very long time since I've had this brand featured on my blog. I reviewed a polish from Polish Addict Nail Color about two and a half years ago. To no fault of my own. There are just so many brands out there it's easy to get overwhelmed. Well, I recently won a contest on her Facebook Fan Group, and this beauty was my prize. It was too gorgeous not to swatch as soon as it was acclimated. (Yes, she knows she wrote 20115 instead of 2015. haha)

I've had the beautiful 'Tis the Season to Sparkle Collection from FingerPaints swatched for a bit. I had a post with it scheduled then something happened and I wasn't able to do the post. So, no, my fingernails didn't magically grow to a wonderful length overnight. Ok, the 'Tis the Season to Sparkle Collection is a set of 6 polishes, some core line and some new, that all work together beautifully and are perfect for the holiday season.

I have a little something special to show you all today! Seventy Seven Lacquer and Turtle Tootsie Polish came together to bring you all the New Years Eve Mani Kit. It's a wonderful collab between the two brands. I'll tell you more about everything you'll get in this adorable kit later on, but first I want to show you the gorgeous polishes that you'll get!

I'm super excited about the collection from Frenzy Polish that I get to show you all today. The Mockingjay Collection is a set of 8 beauties inspired by the Hunger Games. I still haven't been able to see Part 2 yet. I see myself stalking the Redbox kiosk the day it's released for sure! Back to the polish...this set of 8 is incredible. It was crazy difficult for me to find a favorite. I only had 1 polish from Frenzy Polish before this, these definitely won't be my last. I know most of you have seen swatches of these already, but I'm going to give you a fresh look at these.

Happy Saturday, everyone!! I've got the gorgeous Adirondack Winter Collection from Bohemian Polish. For this collection, she found inspiration in stories her husband has told her about being from upstate New York. He shared fond memories of spending winter days and nights at Cranberry Lake. He’s told her stories of being stuck inside watching the snow fall, then later going snowmobiling around Cranberry Lake and marveling at the sparkling drifts. They have made their own trips to Lake Placid to see where the Miracle on Ice happened, they’ve gone wandering on and off trails underneath the boughs of pine, and they’ve sat by the lakeshore as twilight sets in. They’ve sat around the fire listening to the loons, even after the bonfire has faded to ash and gleaming embers. All of this is shown in the collection. Keep reading to find out for yourself.

I've got more Loaded Lacquer to show you all!! When I saw Cold Brew in her shop there was no way I was going to pass it up! I mean it's nude...it's got iridescent glitter...there is no way this can go wrong! Loaded Lacquer is rising on my list of awesome indies. If it's not on your radar yet...just you wait!

Nail art alert!!! Yup, I'm trying vinyls again! I was sent You Polish's new Holiday Stencil to review. The first time I tried You Polish vinyls it was a huge flop. Every time I pulled the stencil off it ripped up the base color. No matter how long I had let it dry. I've since discovered a new, fantastic, top coat. I was beyond excited to really be able to test it and see how it would work with these.

I've got Fae Polish's beautiful Mischievous Elf Collection on the blog today. This collection consists of eight polishes, but if you buy the whole collection, you'll get a special ninth bottle for free. Don't worry, I have it to show you as well. Fae Polish might be brand new, but she has a lot going for her. Her beauties keep getting better and better. Keep reading...

You all know how much I adore Cameo Colours Lacquers! Well, today, I finally get to show you her Holiday Spirit Trio. This trio is a well-rounded, unique (yet simple) set that is perfect for the holidays, as well as year round. I've got a little sickie on my hands, and I'm not feeling well myself, so we are going to keep the chatter short and sweet. Now onto all the pretties!

Today, I'm showing you the two polishes that LynBDesigns had as gift with purchase over Black Friday weekend. I loved these two almost as much as her actual collection. These two are incredibly beautiful!! I had a long weekend so we are going to keep this short and sweet so I can get some sleep! Let's go!

I am super excited about today's post!! Lizzie, the creative genius behind MidWest Lacquer, has released her Holoday Film Fest Collection. And this collection is a stunner! The polishes are all named for scenes from her 2 favorite holiday movies: White Christmas and Elf. Those are some of my favorites too, and I simply can't wait to show these off! Hold onto your wallets! These sparkly beauties will suck it dry!

Back on Black Friday, Sweet Heart Polish released a limited edition trio. I've got swatches of this stunning trio to show you all today! I adore how different each one is, but they still make a very cohesive collection. Sweet Heart Polish makes some incredible polishes. I don't showcase her on the blog enough. Once you see these, you'll be asking yourself how you haven't bought from her yet!

I've got a few beauties from Gunpowder Lacquer on the blog today. Unfortunately, none of these are available any longer. So, just think of these as some nice eye candy, maybe your wish list will grow a bit more, but either way...at the end of the post...there is a giveaway! I was supposed to have swatches of her Winter on the Range Collection, but something happened and the release date was pushed back and product hasn't arrived yet. I will show it to you all as soon as it arrives, but for now, look at these pretties!!

I am beyond happy for today's post. It's the holidays and people are in the giving spirit. Well, with today's post you can buy for yourself, or for someone else, and you can give to an animal in need. Polish 'M and Cameo Colours Lacquers are both pit bull advocates. Polish 'M even keeps limited edition polishes in her shop that regularly donate to pit bull rescues. Well, Polish 'M and Cameo Colours Lacquers teamed up for a holiday duo that will help raise money for two different pit bull rescues. I have this lovely duo, and some extras, to show you all today. They won't be released until the 5th, but don't worry, there is giveaway fun when you're done reading about this gorgeous duo. Ready to dive in?

It's December 2nd!! I've got the lovely Create Christmas Collection from Daily Hues Nail Lacquer to show you all today. This collection is super special. Jenn had her fans post with what their dream holiday polish would look like. Then she randomly selected 6 of the ladies and created each of their dream holiday polish to get this wonderful collection. Honestly, I'm kind of shocked how incredibly cohesive it ended up being.

It's December!! So hard to believe! I love winter and this season and decided to do something big. You'll read more about that later. First, I have the holiday collection from Turtle Tootsie Polish to show you all. A Hatchling's First Christmas Collection is a set of 9 traditional holiday colors with a little something for everyone. This was my first time working with Turtle Tootsie Polish...we all know first impressions are everything...this collection made one hell of an impression on me! I've got a lot to show you so let's jump in!
